Wifi to ethernet (lemmy.world)

Hi all, looking for some guidance on getting wired networking upstairs to my pcs.

Currently I have my internet connection coming in downstairs. Without running cables upstairs is it possible to connect something to my existing wifi network and then break it out to to ethernet?

Any help much appreciated.

I second the suggestion to get some Wi-Fi mesh nodes and replace your current Wi-Fi router with that. Not only will you get the Ethernet ports you need, but everything will be on one big, strong, seamless network

Makes sense but I bought a new router not long ago. Need the money for buying some storage for the nas I'm looking to setup.

I would go the more DIY approach which is using OpenWRT with a bunch of different hardware.
